Mirrors, although small components of a vehicle, play a significant role. Driving without being aware of your surroundings is not possible. With this component, you can become aware of your surroundings while driving and react accordingly. Therefore, the proper functioning and adjustment of this component are crucial for safe driving.
Interior Mirror
This mirror, installed inside the vehicle, allows you to see areas that are not visible with the side mirrors. It is also referred to as the center mirror. The driver uses the center mirror to see what is behind them, essentially covering the vehicle’s blind spots. For this component to assist in driving, it must be properly adjusted.
Left or Driver’s Side Mirror
As mentioned above, mirrors help drivers be aware of their surroundings. This mirror helps you be aware of vehicles trying to overtake you. It should be adjusted so that it does not overlap with the center mirror and does not show any parts of the car’s body.
Right or Passenger Side Mirror
This mirror enhances the driver’s field of view and should be adjusted so that the end parts of the vehicle’s body are visible.

How to Adjust Mirrors
First, adjust your seat according to your height and physique so that your feet can comfortably reach the pedals. After fastening your seatbelt, start adjusting the mirrors. It is important to fasten the seatbelt because the sitting position before and after fastening the seatbelt differs.
To adjust the interior mirror, it should be rotated so that the entire rear window is visible. If any part of the rear window is less visible than another, the mirror is not properly adjusted. When properly adjusted, you should be able to see the white lines on the road and all traffic behind you.
For the left and right mirrors, as mentioned earlier, the left mirror should be adjusted so that no part of the car is visible, and the right mirror should show the end parts of the vehicle’s body.
Note that there should be no overlapping view between the three mirrors. In other words, no single point should be visible from two mirrors.
Why are there dotted lines on the side mirror?
The presence of dotted lines on some side mirrors is not without reason. These dotted lines mark the boundary between a flat mirror and a convex mirror. They indicate the boundary between the actual distance and a reduced distance.
Mirrors are an essential component for driving; if they become damaged, they must be replaced. High-quality mirrors are crucial for saving time and costs.
